The IEX Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary swXtch.io, has launched cloudSwXtch, a cloud-native software product that brings bare-metal on premises performance capability to major cloud networks.
cloudSwXtch is a virtual overlay network that adds feature rich, high-performance networking to cloud or edge deployments, without requiring code changes to existing applications. cloudSwXtch unlocks missing network features such as multicast, broadcast, packet monitoring, as well as protocol conversion and applications for demanding, high-throughput workflows in media applications.
cloudSwXtch technology enables multicast along with other mission-critical capabilities such as ground-to-cloud bridging, protocol translation and fanout, and network path redundancy to all the major cloud service providers.
Companies across multiple industry sectors can now merge on-premises and cloud workflows into a hybrid production process from anywhere in the world, resulting in significantly lower costs due to minimised infrastructure and power needs.
What started as an initiative for financial services and specifically, the migration of data to the cloud for exchanges, has now become a solution for industries looking to shift infrastructures to the cloud quickly and efficiently. With the cloud, and the right technology such as cloudSwXtch, businesses can do more with less, while improving productivity and customer satisfaction, according to IEX Group.
Brad Katsuyama, Co-Founder & CEO of IEX Group, added, “Over the past several years, IEX Group has been relentlessly focused on building high performance, reliable, and scalable infrastructure.
“At our core, we are a technology company and we are proud to have developed cloudSwXtch, which has the potential to revolutionise cloud networking for multiple industries.”
